Pros & Cons Of Taxi Travel

Taxi is the preferred method of transportation for hundreds of people across the UK, there are numerous advantages, including luxury vehicles, skilled and experienced local drivers, and ease of booking with many taxi companies using their own taxi apps, allowing you to book your taxi from the comfort of your Smartphone.

However, if you’re unsure if taxi travel is the right choice for you, here’s a quick list of some pros and cons to help you make your own decision.

The Pros Of Taxi Travel

There are many advantages to taxi travel in Reading, here’s a list of three to give you some food for thought.

Avoid Drink Driving Dangers Designated drivers are a great solution to ensuring that everyone has a transport option after a night out, however why should one person miss out on the fun? In you could book a taxi to take you to and from the event/bar; that way you and your friends can responsibly enjoy a few drinks together, without needing to worry about drink driving or deciding the designated driver.

Trust In An Experienced Local Driver If you’re travelling in an area you’re visiting, it can be very useful to call upon the skills, knowledge, and experience of a local driver. After all, when limited to public transport in an area you’re unfamiliar with; you could quickly become confused and get lost.

So instead of risking to chance of getting lost the next time you visit Reading, get in touch with the talented local drivers at Loddon Cars, our taxi drivers will be happy to take care of your transportation needs and help you get to your destination on time.

Don’t Get Stuck With Public Transport Delays Whilst public transportation can be a great choice if you don’t want to take personal transport, it’s not without risk. Public transport options such as trains or busses can suffer from very serious delays with little if any warning, or your travel plans could be turned upside down by industrial strike action.

The Cons Of Taxi Travel

Whilst taxi travel is a fantastic method of transport, it’s not perfect and there are some disadvantages. To help you weigh up the pros and cons and make your own decision, here’s a list of three disadvantages.

Some People Prefer To Drive Themselves If you enjoy driving and would prefer to drive yourself, perhaps taxi travel isn’t best suited to your needs. Indeed, if you’re particularly adverse to the idea of being driven by a professional driver, perhaps a car rental service will be better suited to your needs if you require temporary transport to and from specific locations.

You Could Be Stuck In Traffic It’s worth remembering that whilst public transportation options such as the trains could face delays, taxis are not without risk as you could be stuck in traffic. Whilst local taxi drivers will know alternative routes, sometimes there is no alternative and all you can do is sit in traffic until it clears. This could cause significant delays to your journey.

Less Eco-Friendly Compared To Cycling Or Walking If you’re concerned about the eco-friendly nature of your trip, it’s important to remember that just like using a personal vehicle, travelling via taxi also uses petrol/diesel and as such, contributes to global warming. So if you want a more eco-friendly method of transportation, perhaps cycling would be better suited to your needs.
